 Chateau du Grand Bos 

Graves

Grand Vin De Bordeaux  2005

Bordeaux,France

This was the Star at our Bordeaux Class last month! 

90 Points!  International Wine Report 

“The 2005 Chateau du Grand Bos offers aromas and flavors blackberry and dried cherries fruit followed by crushed stones and tobacco notes. Balanced and focused with a pretty finish that lingers. 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc make up the final blend. (Best 2013-2019) - May, 2013 (JD)

Our Thoughts...............
Aromatics include cedar, cherry, tobacco, and an unmistakably Bordeaux whiff of terroir. The mid-palate is gentle yet well structured. The tannins are softening but present. There is lovely inner-mouth perfume, and loads of earthy, black fruit and leathery notes. only 200 cases imported.

This is one of the two best Bordeaux vintages in the last 20 years!

A Wine Spectator Vintage Rating of 98 Points!

About Château du Grand Bos..........

Is located in Castres, in a part of the Graves appellation where one finds some of the oldest Bordeaux vineyards dating from 2,000 years ago. The vineyard lies near the old Roman road named “Chemin Gallien”. The Château is listed as a leading estate in its commune in editions of Cocks & Feret going back to 1868. The vineyard, whose soil is composed of very deep gravel, ceased being cultivated in the 1950’s and when M. Vincent bought the property in 1988 it was in poor condition. M.Vincent had sold his property in Saint Estephe, Chateau La Haye, with the idea of retiring but instead immediately set out to replant and restore the vineyard as well as the Château. The winery was further renovated in 2005 when the underground cellar where wells had been dug in the 17th century, was refashioned into a pristine barrel room with lots of natural humidity. The vineyard totals 18.5 hectares with 15 hectares in red grapes and 3.5 hectares in white grapes. Through the purchase of his neighbor’s well established vineyard, M. Vincent achieves an average vine age of 30 years, with certain parcels.
